A nostalgic collection of high quality period reproduction taps await you over the next few pages. If you are looking for a Victorian, Edwardian or a Baroque theme then we will definitely have the right tap for you. Our traditional collection has been collated from only respected British and European manufacturers where authenticity and quality has always been the overriding goal. All these taps combine their historical aesthetics with the same modern technology used with their contemporary cousins, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. About Water Pressure Gravity - it is very important that before you purchase your tap you establish the water pressure in your home. If you have a traditional hot water cylinder the pressure will be determined by gravity only. Measure the height from the bottom of your cold water storage tank (usually located in the loft) to your kitchen tap - the longer the drop the more pressure you will have - see table below. If you have a combination boiler these usually provide a good level of pressure; usually between 1.5-2 bar with an average mains pressure coming in to your house. 0.1 Bar = 3 foot head of pressure 0.2 Bar = 6 foot of pressure 0.5 Bar = 15 foot of pressure 1.0 Bar = 30 foot head of pressure Look out for our minimum bar guides shown with each tap, use in conjunction with this table to assist in selecting the correct tap for your home. 212
Langley The Langley exemplifies the traditional tap by combining modern engineering and reliability with historic details. Its classic swan neck form is complemented by curving bridge supports and chunky cross wheel handles that echo its Edwardian and Victorian predecessors. This tap is available in two finishes; Chrome and Pewter and in two forms either with or without an independent hand-spray. We think the Langley is a winner; its bridge styling works particularly well with our ever popular Butler style sinks (see pages 104-111). Langley Cross Head Bridge Mixer Ref. AT3036 Chrome 339 Ref.
